See Miami Light Project’s signature commission program for Miami-based artists – Here & Now! Filmed and presented virtually for the first time, the program features newly commissioned short work from Miami’s freshest and most exciting emerging artists, who are working across disciplines to define contemporary performance in Miami.

Brink is a contemporary dance work inspired by Orson Welles’s radio broadcast of “War of the Worlds” from 1938.
Loren Davidson & Britney Tokumoto – the invitation.
The Invitation is a new dance work that was created out of curiosity and a series of scores. Intention, loyalty, and willingness to show up for one another became a series of conversations around healing, connection, and experimentation.

You Never Had U.S. is a choreographic work which speaks to the betrayal of Hispanic soldiers after sacrificing their lives for the United States Armed Forces.
